Virginia Tech football's offseason upheaval continued Monday as the program announced that junior defensive back Mook Reynolds had been dismissed from the team.

The Hokies' starting nickel back and second-leading returning tackler with 70 last season, Reynolds was “dismissed from the team effective immediately in accordance with Virginia Tech Athletics Department policies,” a statement read, in part.

According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the program also revealed that Reynolds had been suspended from team activities during the spring, a disciplinary action that hadn't been previously made public. He simply was listed as "out" for the spring in an announcement that was combined with injured players' status.

Last month, Virginia Tech announced that senior cornerback Adonis Alexander had been kicked off the team. He could be taken in Wednesday's NFL Supplemental Draft. Fellow 2017 starter Terrell Edmunds, a safety, left early for the NFL.

Combining the dismissals, early departures and departed seniors, the Hokies defense will be without eight starting-caliber players from 2017, along with co-coordinator Galen Scott, who resigned in April after an extramarital affair became public.
